Planning to watch 100% of the events from start to finish that Canadians are participating in. Perfect so far.

Nothing is more enjoyable than the Olympics.

Rest in peace sleep schedule

Looks like a small arena and even then...quite a few empty seats.

Weird.

Russians just nailed it.

They should add Men's Pairs, Women's Pairs, and Mixed Quads to curling.

I've admittedly never been that much into Curling but man am I ever enjoying the Mixed Doubles so far.

Maybe it's just my excitement of the Olympics finally being here but I'm loving it. Already pumped for the Men's and Women's tournaments

NBC documentary on Calgary '88 figure skating competition; Battle of the Brians; Witt vs Thomas; strangely, doesn't look like there will be much mention of Elizabeth Manley

So lovely together. Without sounding too sappy, their bond (much like Scott /Tessa) is apparent in the way they perform.

They were exquisite tonight.

How much trust you need to have in the other person and how many hours you spend training -- it blows my mind.

pairs figure skating is one of my favorite of all Olympic events, summer or winter.

The athleticism of the lifts and especially the throws is remarkable.

My boys never watch figure skating except for the Olympics. I told them to watch for the Canadians in the team event, so they sat tonight and watched it, they were amazed how such a big man can skate and throw a little women around.

Just a beautiful performance.

The Finns are going to run out of time. Not sure what happens at that point.

Doesnt matter as the Canadians put a 5 spot up for an 8-2 lead and they shake hands.

Canada scores 5 in the 6th end and that's all she wrote. 8-2 final over Finland. Improve to 3-1 in Round Robin play

I believe they are 2 and 1. Lost to Norway but beat Finland and the Americans.
